Bora you probally have never seen it, probally becuase you've never been a to public male toilet ! They are absolutely horrid ! looks like a old faithfull just blew its top in there....ewww
I don't know dude. From what I hear women's toilets are quite filthy.
What toilets need is some kinda kick@aa Japanese technology system.
Where eveything is automated, with sensors all round. So when waters spills out beyond an acceptable level or if the seat is not clean the sensors are immediately activated when the user reached for the door. Once the sensors raise the alarm these women then start laughing loudly. That'll shame all men into cleanliness overdrive :lol:

Humans being those who go to the bathroom, do their stuff, use toilet paper and gtfo.
Animals are those who for some reason see it fit to take a shower in the toilet, you can tell an animal has been in a stall before you by checking for the following clues:
- Floor is flooded with water
- Toilet seat is drenched
- There is toilet paper everywhere
- Stall smells like a dead rodent stuffed with curry just died in it
Since these animals seem to rejoice in prancing in filth, it is only fitting that they are awarded their own bathroom facilities. Do you agree?
Which lonely nook of Dubai did you find urself in mate?
Personally I've never come across a toilet as disguisting as you've mentioned. Then again it boils down to being prudent in selecting the location of the public toilet you plan to relieve urself in. Exceptions being prisons cells and labour camps maybe?
As far as the stinking part goes, not much a person can do bout it. The loos need to be well ventilated!
The only time I've come across filthy loos is during parties. Where it's impossible to keep cleaning and partygoers use the loos for who knows what from vomiting to making out to smoking etc
With public toilets never touch anything with ur bare hands and carry ur own liquid detergent.
And teddy bear most countries have free toilets and paid toilets. The paid ones are generally sparkling clean with all ameneties, basic and more.
But yes I will admit that people in general have no consideration and often leave the loos in a shabbier state than when they entered. I've seen people educated people wash their feet in sinks thereby leaving the sinks a filthy mess. And what's worse? They're proud of it.
There seems to be a culture that tolerates this, as it's accepted that someone will walk in to clean the mess they made.
I guess as society evolves, etiquette will kick in. desertdudeshj I feel my input is greatly needed in this topic ! :D Bora you probally have never seen it, probally becuase you've never been a to public male toilet ! They are absolutely horrid ! looks like a old faithfull just blew its top in there....ewww This does not happen due to the fact that most us wash our self, but majority of the "animalistic" population don't know how to use a toilet seat and still use it as an asian comode ( floor mounted, squat type ) They get on top of it and squat with there feet on the seat and when done the resulting "wash" ends in the water bomb explosion. Mostly our kandoora wearing population is to blame for this as well as south asian expats from the villages. I've " washed all my life but never the scene as if a water mains just burst. Don't ask me how I know all of this unless you want gory details !!!! xty

I know what you mean. Surprisingly you still can find them even in the newest malls.
Though nowadays mostly they use toilet seat, but they still can't change the habit! When you find shoeprints on toilet seat (the ring), then you know that these people are not familiar with it!
Yeah, plenty of time I had to deal with those filthy toilets. I'd rather hold it or find somewhere else. Bora Bora

Chocoholic Urgh you're like me Bora, I can't stand to touch anything. I carry those little bottles of all in one germ killing hand lotion. It annoys me that many peple can't do such a basic hygiene practice such as washing their hands as soon as they come out the loo - it's disgusting. For this reason I can't bear to shake peoples hands, touch doors knobs etc, it's awful. Bora Bora

Depending on your personal hygiene there are things that are a "given". Some people find is totally acceptable to leave a bathroom without washing their hands. Personally, I don't find that acceptable. I see women come out of a stall and fix their hair, put on lipstick and fix their makeup before washing their hands! When finished, some wash their hands after doing that and some head straight to the door.
I am germ phobic - so I touch as little as possible in a public bathroom. And when I do "touch" something, I have a paper towel in my hand from the time I open the stall door until I leave. Door handles, door lock, hot and cold nozzles, soap container, handle of door when leaving, always with a paper towel in hand. Unfortunately there are no bins next to the door when exiting so I have to toss the paper towel into a corner. Sorry. :( gavtek If you got fecal matter on your hands, would you just wipe it off with dry tissue paper? If not, why is that acceptable for your buttocks? Bora Bora

But even if people do use the hose, that's still no excuse for leaving the place in a state! People can mop up after themselves, they just can't be bothered.
I agree with you. It doesn't take much to wipe up the water that is left on the seat. I'm sure that most people grab some paper and wipe it before using it, but that doesn't mean you need to leave it for the next person.
As for mopping up, I have yet to see a mop in any stall. But what I have seen are these poor individuals who are paid slave wages to clean up after those people.
I was raised: leave the bathroom the way you found it! Obviously I wouldn't entertain using a bathroom such as Teddybear uses, but then again, I guess I've never been to a place that has bathrooms that are left in such a state of disgust. In my most desperate moment, I would find another place or way to relieve myself. Bora Bora

And if someone finds it hygienic to spray fecal matter riddled water onto the floor, then they should really take a step back and re-evaluate their perspective on hygiene. Being muslim does not mean you're exempt from respecting other people who will use the bathroom after you, at least have the decency to clean up your mess.
LOL. I'm from the US, and bidets are not the norm. I don't know what places you go to that you have had that experience, but in my 12 years here I have never ever been in a place that caters to that level of individual.

You probably think a bidet is something you vomit into while sitting on the commode after a drinking binge, or a place to wash your socks in. :roll: TeddyBear Great logic, so in other countries with no showers in the stalls do they climb on the sink and crouch like gargoyles to wash?

Judging by that poor attempt at a joke I'd say I'm not the only one. I don't see a reason why dirty stalls would be humorous to anyone, unless toilet humor is kinda your thing. Chocoholic Not really but sadly it's an issue and a problem all over the place and nonce again boils down to basic education or 'leave it how you'd expect to find it'. Personally removing the hoses would stop most of the issues. TeddyBear I agree, we should remove all hoses from toilets. desertdudeshj And what use paper instead. I never understood this logic ! If paper is good enough to clean your behind with after having a dump. Then why not rub yourself down with newspaper in the morning. Wipe your houses including bathrooms with paper. Why bother going to a wash your car ? @ the Al Aqa automated loos. I had a bad incident with those once ! It was at the royal meridien ( they use to have those aswell ) Early morning to pick up clients. wWhen I reached I needed to go bad so I parked my car, rushed to the loo and after doing my bussiness I see the sign which was at the back of the door. Loo out of order ! :shock: Couldn't they have placed it on the outside or even locked it. I pressed all the buttons and everything but it wouldnt work. There was no water or paper !!!. Good thing it was early morning and wasn't busy at all.

I remeber being in the airport and a lady had gone to the loo then used the hose, she was literally drip drying, all her skirt was soaking wet it was disgusting! You can hoes, but use paper to dry off and get those bits that a hose wll not clean! desertdudeshj Yeah its just too ..Ewwww.

Ewwww.. god forbid you go on vacation to Europe or North America one day, the horror! Make sure you stretch before climbing onto the sink to wash your precious tushy.

Hahahahaha :lol: desertdudeshj Maybe next time I should just wipe myself down with paper in the morning instead of taking a shower ? Now its saddens me to think I wasted so much water mopping my floor. When I could have just wiped it ! Come to think of it why do we have water in the loo in the first place we should just take a dump on a peice of newspaper, roll it up and send it down the chute. A big box of tissues instead of the sink and it should be good to go. Amazing Chocoholic Because water aids the disposal and breakdown of waste. Ask Thomas Crapper, he invented the flushable toilet! Wipping yourself down with paper, nah you'd get covered in ink! But honestly I don't get the hosing thing and drip drying is gross. Hose but wipe dry surely. xty
